PREPARATION FOR USE
Before cooking for the first time
Step 1
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the grill (see
“Adding Charcoal/Wood during Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING
Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal /wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, place lump or briquette charcoal on top of grate in chimney starter until full.
Underneath grate place balled up paper and light with match or lighter thru holes in bottom of chimney sides. Once
paper lights, fire will spread up thru charcoal until entire column is glowing red in the bottom with ash formation on
top. Pick up by handle and pour lit charcoal into grill. (Proceed to Step 4)
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
Step 2
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for lighting charcoal.
Step 3
With grill lid open, remove the cooking grid (#20), placed the charcoal grate completely inside the grill, stand back
and carefully light charcoal. Allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes).
Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid inside the grill and may result in a flash-fire or
explosion when lid is opened.

With coals burning strong, close the lid. Temperature should exceed 225°F (107°C). Maintain this temp erature for
2 hours to remove all traces of paint odor that may remain from the factory.
